He disclosed that the Ghana Armed Forces and other security agencies recorded 47 cross-border incursions between 2023 and 2025, while more than 300 people were arrested over alleged attempts to recruit individuals into extremist groups along the country’s northern border.

The Ghana Armed Forces and security agencies recorded 47 cross-border incursions and over 300 arrests linked to extremist recruitment attempts along our northern border between 2023 and 2025,” he said.

Mr Agalga said Ghana’s location and proximity to countries affected by extremist violence exposed the country to transnational security threats that required increased vigilance, intelligence gathering and coordination among security agencies.
